Gadgets on Win 7 not opening

[sldi]

Is anyone else experiencing the problem of there sidebar gadgets not opening under Win 7? Mine have stopped working and I also downloaded the latest version of Windows live gallery and it won't open files for a slide show due to a security threat and I get same message at start up that its unable to open GFxUI.exe due to security. I have been looking around the web and found some people stating that it hit them after trying to fire up there computers after 10/28/2010, that happens to be right after a new windows update was installed. I have tried going back to a restore point before then but still no luck.

I just opened my Gadgets for the first time. They seem to be working fine. I believe I have all updates installed.

try to reload it...

GfxUI.exe - GfxUI error fix, GfxUI.exe download

Any gadget I try to install just appears as a black box there, the "x" that you get in the top corner appears and so does the handle to reposition, but no content is in the box. I deleted the few gadgets I had installed and tried re-installing but nothing goes up

It doesn't seem to be an error in "gfxui.exe" but rather a security issue that my computer won't allow the program to run

I know but if you reinstall it, the computer will grant those permissions again. How are you starting the gadgets?

they come up during start up

Never use them myself, but went ahead and tried them out and mine are working fine.
